Brinjal/ Eggplant/ Baingan Ka Bharta / Badanekayi Gojju

Brinjal/ Eggplant is known by many names in India like Baingan in Hindi and Badenekayi in Kannada. I am not a big fan of these eggplants nor is my family. I only prepare sambar, bajjis and this Bharta or Gojju from brinjals. Everyone in my family loves this dish and it gets vanished in minutes. I know many people prepare this in so many different varieties but the recipe I follow is from my Grandma which I have been tasting from childhood. She used to bake this brinjals in charcoal fire. Thats the traditional way of cooking it actually. But now a days we have these kitchen friendly oven which makes our cooking much easier and we much lazier.

I bought these lovely brinjals from native while heading back to Bangalore with the one and only intention of preparing this lovely dish Baingan ka Bharta/ Badanekai Gojju.

Here's the simple recipe of Baingan Ka Bharta/ Badanekai Gojju.
